L'An Clos - Ponty Vineyards 2020
Les Vignobles Ponty is located in the Libournais in Bordeaux. It is a family estate that has existed since 1905 when Victor Ponty, the great-grandfather from Corrèze, settled in Fronsac to produce and sell wine. Since 2019, Hélène Ponty is the fifth generation of the Ponty family at the head of the vineyards, after Victor, Jean, François and Michel.
The L'An Clos cuvée was designed during confinement. It comes from the palus plots used for the production of the Clos Virolle cuvée. The wine is made from hand-harvested Merlot whose vine age is around 40 years. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations as well as the aging take place in vats. Only 1,476 bottles were produced.
Grape variety: 100% Merlot
